TWO cyclists were robbed of their bikes by a couple of young thugs.

The 14-year-old boys were riding their bikes along Clifton Road in Prestwich at 4pm on Saturday (Aug 10) when they were stopped by a 14-year-old boy and a ten-year-old boy who were also riding bicycles.

The victims were threatened and forced off their bikes by the thieves who rode off with the newer bicycles.
